D-Link Updates Streaming Player: Can MovieNite Plus Take On Roku?

  • Earlier this week, ETCentric reported that cord cutters might find Netgear’s new $70 NeoTV Pro of interest — the first media streamer to feature Intel’s WiDi technology.
  • In related news, D-Link has announced the next version of its MovieNite streaming media player, expected to ship in July for $80.
  • “MovieNite Plus will source content from up to 130 different channels and play it back in 1080p resolution (when available),” reports Digital Trends.
  • The new player will offer streaming content from the likes of Vudu, Netflix, Pandora, YouTube, Picasa, Flickr, Crackle, Facebook and Twitter.
  • Hulu Plus is expected to be included at a later date, while the post suggests “Amazon Instant Video does not appear to be on the roster for the moment.”
  • “It remains to be seen if the MovieNite Plus has enough going for it to lure away would-be Roku customers,” notes Digital Trends. “The Roku, for now, still offers access to more desirable content and it can play games, to boot.”
